Well, I am really on the mend - I think. Yesterday, I thought I was feeling better, then the tummy started up again. Today, other than a lot of burping, I seem to be okay. This is the first time, though, that I have ever taken Tums - that has always been Dad's medicine - but today the gas was so bad, he suggested I try it. Turns out - it works. :-) I actually ate a decent supper tonight for the first time in ages - we had the missionaries over and I asked Dad to do a barbecue. He cooked chicken and sausages with onions and I made a garden salad and a potato salad. It was very yummy and it felt really good to be able to eat 'real food' for a change. I was able to do some real work around the house today, too, which, although I do not like doing housework, actually felt good. :-)
Yesterday, I worked on school stuff - cutting out and laminating and then cutting out again some language cards/games which the students will be using during our literacy rotations. Today, I spent the afternoon working on my plan for next week - it felt really good to get it all sorted out, including the things I need photocopied and laminated. I know it doesn't sound very exciting to you guys, but I really like to be fully organized before I start a week of teaching. Tomorrow, I will plan out the next nine weeks of the term, in general, so that I have a broad idea of what I want to do - as we go from day to day, I change things as I need to.
Dad has spent the last two days doing census and church stuff. He worked on next Sunday's lesson for a while, but spent most of his time preparing the training he will have to do with his collectors, meeting with some people at the establishments which need to do the census collecting themselves and training some of them, and marking a 'home study exercise' which his collectors did so that he can figure out which areas he really needs to focus on when he does his collectors' training this Friday.
Again, another exciting two days in the lives of Mom and Dad. :-)
